Actually, it may not be all that easy to drill a hole in a glass tube.
Considering that the PVC pipe works, is dirt cheap, and won't break
under too much pressure (and can be drilled with standard drills....),
I'm wondering why to go through the problems of drilling glass....
Seriously enough, you'll lose perhaps an inch in the bottom of the
tank, and if you put a grille made from fluorescent light grids, you
may miss a bit more.
Then again, those cereal storage containers are fairly deep unless you
want to do 9 or 10 inch boards (including border?) in the tank.

Good point...just use plastic and be done with it. :) So many projects. But I am making progress. :)
Thanks
